Jersey's Chief Minister has told States Members tonight's planned media briefing has been called off.
Senator John Le Fondré says it'll take place at a later date, once the Council of Ministers has received the latest advice from STAC on how effective the current hospitality shutdown has been on stopping the spread of coronavirus.
